Flow and Molten Salt Batteries

Large stationary batteries that store energy in liquid electrolytes or in molten salts and are built for grid storage, such as vanadium redox flow batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries and ZEBRA batteries. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes a flow battery or a molten salt battery. It excludes small solid-electrode rechargeable cells. These batteries are built for stationary storage, either pumping liquid electrolytes through a cell stack or running at high temperature with a molten electrode, so their capacity can be scaled up. A technology is placed here by the cited article.
